Summary: "Virginia: the Old Dominion" by Frank W. Hutchins and Cortelle Hutchins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles a houseboating adventure along the historic James River, delving into the rich history and legacy of Virginia as the writers explore sites associated with early American colonization, particularly the settlement of Jamestown. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the houseboat Gadabout, which leaves its moorings in Norfolk for a leisurely journey up the James River. The opening chapters depict the excitement and preparations of three family members—gathering information on houseboating, building their craft, and plotting their journey. As they embark on their cruise, they express a deep appreciation for the rich history surrounding the river, evoking the struggles and triumphs of early settlers such as Captain John Smith and the first colonists who established the first permanent English settlement in North America. Throughout the opening, the authors set a tone of adventure intertwined with historical reflection, promising readers an engaging narrative that combines personal experience and historical inquiry.
